GMB’s Richard Madeley reveals horrifying injury live on air after falling over on holiday in France

GOOD Morning Britain anchor Richard Madeley sparked fan concern after returning to the ITV series with a hugely painful injury.

The former This Morning frontman, 69, was back on-screen alongside Susanna Reid, 54, for Monday’s episode.

Yet fans of the early-morning show were left worried after noting the broadcaster was clad with a huge cast on his right arm.

The white plaster support could be seen peeking out of Richard‘s smart black suit as he fronted Good Morning Britain from his regular spot on the desk.

Others also noted his voice sounded husky and “digitised” amid his injury woe, which he outlined at the top of the show.

Susanna said: “Richard you better explain,” to which he replied: “I thought you were going to say did I have a good break!”

After the pair giggled, he continued: “It’s a double fracture of the wrist.

“I was walking quite quickly down a steep pavement in France on Friday, and the pavement was loose.

“It flipped up and it flipped me forward and I thought am I going to win or will gravity win?

“And gravity won and I hit the ground hard.

“So yeah I’ve got a double fracture and we’ll see how it goes.”

After issuing a supportive “aww,” Susanna then quizzed: Is it sore at the moment?”

The brave host said: “I’m not discussing the pain threshold we just don’t think about pain.”

One ITV viewer took to X to write: “Awww Madeley has an owie.”

A second put: “Is Richard channeling his inner Keith lemon this morning with his bandage?”

The Sun has gone to GMB for comment.

Good Morning Britain presenters

Current presenters:

  • Susanna Reid (presenters Monday to Wednesday and alternate Thursdays) – 2014 to present
  • Kate Garraway (presenters alternate Thursdays and Fridays) – 2014 to present
  • Ed Balls (presents on a rotating basis) – 2022 to present
  • Adil Ray (presents on Fridays) – 2024 to present 
  • Robert Rinder (presents on a rotating basis) – 2024 to present

Former presenters: 

Last week, Ed Balls fronted the show alongside mum of three Susanna.

TOUGH TIME

The injury comes amid a rough time for Richard and a slew of ITV broadcasters.

It comes amid a huge shake up of the daytime TV offering at the channel.

We were first to report how veteran journalist Richard was facing the axe after crunch talks with telly bosses.

In May, sources say Richard was told his contract, worth a reported £300,000 a year, would not be renewed on current terms when it expires in December.

He hit back and negotiated a new deal with bosses — but it will mean a significant cut in his hours and pay.

A source said: “This one has really rocked the ITV corridors because Richard is such a big name and a legend of daytime telly.

it became apparent Richard had a meeting with the network’s most senior bosses and he’s now being kept on in a more part-time role.

“He’s got himself back on the show — but his hours are significantly cut.”

Richard made an unexpected return to daytime telly in 2021 after Piers Morgan left GMB in a row over Harry and Meghan.

He had co-hosted ITV’s This Morning with wife Judy Finnigan for 13 years from 1988 to 2001.

They had been the golden couple of daytime telly and it was thought both were happy to enjoy retirement at their homes in London and Cornwall.

But Richard made a shock return to the screen as ITV bosses brought him in as a regular joint presenter on GMB with Susanna.

He quickly established himself as a popular face on the breakfast show, building up a warm rapport with his co-host and taking on the main male anchor role.

TV SHAKE UP

Former MP Ed is set to be kept on, despite some viewers criticising the show for having a conflict of interest when he has been interviewing his former Labour political colleagues.

Ed, who became a presenter on the GMB rota in 2022, has been pulled out of the studio in recent months when there is an interview with his wife, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, leaving Susanna to do it alone.

ITV bosses announced that Lorraine, shown on weekdays from 9am to 10am, would air on just 30 out of 52 weeks from next year.

GMB will also be extended.

The 33-year-old rocked a gorgeous fitted white blazer as temperatures soared in Paris.

Diletta uploaded a clip of her preparing for the finale on Philippe-Chatrier Court.

Another lovestruck follower added: “Blessed is that dressing gown.”

While a third replied: “The Sicilian Barbie.”

Alcaraz produced one of the all-time great comebacks to secure a second French Open crown.

The Spaniard survived three Championship points in the fourth set to somehow beat Sinner at Roland Garros.

Alcarez won the five-set thriller after five hours and 29 minutes.

He becomes only the third man to win a major final after saving a championship point since the Open era began in 1968.

Following his epic win, Alcaraz admitted: “Every match I’m playing against him is important.

But now, Rebecca Forrey has left people totally divided with her latest DIY project[/caption]

But having said that, Rebecca’s black doors have left people totally divided – and while some suggest it will “date” her property, others think it looks “so classy”.

Posting on social media, the brunette beauty gave her followers a close-up look at her oak doors, which she bought from Wickes.

Alongside the clip, she revealed a comment she had heard one too many times, as she penned: “Do NOT paint those oak doors black.” 

Clearly unbothered by the advice, moments later viewers saw Rebecca holding a paint brush.

The content creator then mimed along to a viral audio that said: “I’m not gon’ do it girl, I was just thinking about it. I’m not gon’ do it…I did it.” 

Seconds later, she proudly showed off her new black living room door and beamed: “No regrets.”

Rebecca confirmed that she didn’t prime the door before painting and used Frenchic Furniture Pant in the shade Black Jack, from the Lazy Range.

But the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @rebeccaforrey, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as at the time of writing it had quickly racked up 279,700 views in just 24 hours. 

Not only this, but it had also amassed 10,100 likes and 162 comments.

DIY enthusiasts were split by the black doors and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their thoughts.

One user beamed: “The black is SO CHIC.”

A second chimed in: “Black looks soooo much better! So classy.”

But at the same time, not everyone was as complimentary, as one DIY enthusiast slammed: “Oak is much better.” 

Another added: “[It] will date quickly, whereas the oak remains timeless in my opinion.” 

And a third commented: “Looking forward to five years’ time when everyone is sanding their doors back to the natural finish.”

I’m a cleaning pro and my 90p hack will banish lingering food smells in your home – it’ll make your kitchen sparkle too

A CLEANING pro has revealed a 90p hack to banish lingering food smells from your home.

Whether you’ve treated yourself to a curry or made your family a slap up roast, food smells can often linger way after you’ve finished in the kitchen.

Candles and diffusers can be great methods of getting rid of these smells, but they can end up getting expensive.

However, experts from Housekeep, Georgina Shepherd, revealed that bad smells can actually be banished with a cheap cupboard staple.

“Coffee grounds are actually fantastic deodorisers,” she said, speaking Coffee Friend.

“During the summer, when kitchen bins can get a bit whiffy, try sprinkling a handful of coffee grounds into the bottom of a fresh bin bag after changing it.

“They’ll help absorb unpleasant odours between changes.”

She added that you can also put a bowl of used coffee grounds in the fridge, to make the food smell fresher.

Coffee is super cheap, and can be picked up from the supermarket for as little as 90p.

The expert added that you can also use coffee grounds to clean onion and garlic smells off your chopping boards.

“To freshen them up, use the same coffee and washing-up liquid paste and scrub gently with a sponge,” she said.

“The abrasiveness helps lift off food particles and stains, while the coffee neutralises any odours.”

Georgina added that coffee grounds are super versatile, and can even be used to make your kitchen sparkle, thanks to their abrasiveness.

“Thanks to their coarse texture, used coffee grounds can come in handy for tackling stubborn grime.

“They’re great for scrubbing pans, trays with burnt-on bits, or even giving your stainless steel sink a good refresh.

“It’s a great reason to hang on to the grounds from your morning brew instead of tossing them.”

Stacey Solomon's cleaning tips

IF you want a home that gleams like Stacey's, you'll need to listen up!

Label Everything: Stacey swears by the power of labelling. From pantry jars to storage bins, clear labels help keep everything organised and easy to find.

Daily Tidy Routine: Dedicate 15-20 minutes each day to tidying up. This prevents clutter from building up and makes weekly deep cleaning less daunting.

Baking Soda Magic: Stacey uses baking soda for a variety of cleaning tasks. It’s great for deodorising carpets, cleaning grout, and even freshening up mattresses.

Upcycle Containers: Repurpose old jars, tins, and containers to store cleaning supplies, craft materials, or kitchen ingredients. It’s both eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Shine with Vinegar: White vinegar is a staple in Stacey’s cleaning arsenal. It works wonders on windows, mirrors, and even limescale build-up in kettles.

Make It Fun: Turn on your favourite music or podcast to make cleaning less of a chore and more of a fun, productive activity.

Use a Toothbrush: For those hard-to-reach spots, a toothbrush can be an excellent tool. Use it to scrub grout lines, around taps, and in other small crevices.

Declutter Regularly: Stacey advises a regular declutter session to get rid of items you no longer need. This keeps your home neat and creates more space for the things you love.

Air Fresheners: Create your own natural air fresheners using essential oils. Stacey loves using lavender or citrus oils to keep her home smelling fresh.

Microfibre Cloths: These are essential for dusting and cleaning surfaces without leaving streaks. They are reusable and can be easily washed.

Incorporate these tips into your routine for a cleaner, more organised home, just like Stacey Solomon’s!

Colby Short, CEO and co-founder of GetAgent revealed that another way to get rid of food smells in your home is to  use baking powder as a deodoriser.

Baking powder is a staple that many of us already have in our kitchen cupboards, and it can be found in all major supermarkets.

You’ll be able to nab it in Tesco for only 57p and Asda and Aldi for just 65p. 

Colby explained: “Baking powder is a great, natural deodoriser. 

“Sprinkle some onto a soft surface you want to clean, allow it to sit – overnight if you can – and then vacuum it up the next day.”

Aldi launches £3.99 buy that will light up your garden for balmy summer nights – it will add style to a fence in no time

ALDI is launching a budget-friendly buy to elevate your garden this summer.

The German retailer has a whole range of garden buys coming to stores this Sunday, and you won’t want to miss out.

The Solar Light Bulbs will be in stores tomorrow and are the perfect buy for the garden.

Not only will they give your fence an instant update, but they’ll also come in handy during the evenings.

Costing just £3.99 each, the bulb comes with a crocodile clip so it can be hung around the garden.

The bulbs come in two different shapes and have 20 firefly LED lights inside to add a whimsical touch.

It also comes with a flat base for use as a table lantern if you don’t want to hang it.

Of course, the lights are solar-powered so you won’t have to worry about getting batteries for the lamp.

Aldi bosses say: “Bring colour into your outdoor space with this Solar Iridescent Lightbulb.”

It’s part of Aldi’s wider push to offer low-cost garden essentials this season, with the budget supermarket regularly selling out of its Specialbuys aimed at outdoor living.

Like with all Specialbuy items from the store it will only be available while stock lasts.

So if you want to get your hands on the bulb, you’d best head to your local store tomorrow to stock up.

More Garden Buys

The budget-friendly retailer is also launching a budget-friendly gadget this weekend that promises to keep bugs and pests at bay throughout the warmer months.

Available in stores across the UK from Sunday, June 8, the Zero In Bug Zapper Lantern is priced at just £7.99 — and it’s already catching the attention of bargain hunters.

The lantern kills nuisance flies and mosquitoes on contact, helping to create a bug-free zone ideal for BBQs, camping trips or even indoor use.

It’s designed for versatility, you can hang it up or stand it on any surface, and it works best in low-light conditions.

The gadget also features four built-in LED lights and comes complete with a USB rechargeable battery pack and charging cable, making it easy to power up for evening use.

Whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening on the patio or hosting friends and family for a garden gathering, this simple tool could make all the difference.

Aldi says the lantern is “perfect for outdoor living,” especially for those who want to enjoy summer evenings without being pestered by insects.
